He outlined the project goals and expected impacts and how this could be achieved through institutional capacity building on SRI over the next three years. This will be supported by on-farm trainings and farmer demonstrations across the different irrigation schemes where the project will be implemented.<\/p><p>A special feature of this project is the south-to-south cooperation where TARI researchers and extension officers will be visiting India and work with the ongoing Resilience project partners (a project funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Norway\/the Norwegian Embassy, Delhi). Sekhar also commented that due consideration will be given to the environmental considerations, gender and youth integration and value chain analysis and addressing relevant SDGs (1, 2, 5, 6 and 13).<\/p><p>From NIBIO, Dr. Mehreteab Tesfai, who was also at the kick-off meeting, will work on the soil and water management challenges and precision management, and how they can be addressed by farmers adopting SRI. The project will reach out to 4000 smallholders growing rice in Tanzania.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1232024 e-con-boxed e-con\" data-id=\"1232024\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;content_width&quot;:&quot;boxed&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8ac0616 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"8ac0616\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/resiliencetanzania.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/0a2ea906-647c-4d9f-8887-82d27c85902a.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-247\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/resiliencetanzania.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/0a2ea906-647c-4d9f-8887-82d27c85902a.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/resiliencetanzania.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/0a2ea906-647c-4d9f-8887-82d27c85902a-300x135.jpg 300w, https:\/\/resiliencetanzania.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/0a2ea906-647c-4d9f-8887-82d27c85902a-1024x461.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/resiliencetanzania.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/0a2ea906-647c-4d9f-8887-82d27c85902a-768x346.jpg 768w, https:\/\/resiliencetanzania.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/0a2ea906-647c-4d9f-8887-82d27c85902a-1536x691.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">SRI training exercise in the rice field sites of SRI-Tanzania.<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kick-off meeting held in Morogoro in March 2023 More than 50 participants were present at the kick-off meeting in Morogoro on March 14, 2023, including representatives from NIBIO, TARI, Rice Council of Tanzania, Norges Vel, Helvetas, and two rice experts from India (MSSRF and TNAU).
